Help - Bluetooth

Can anyone recommend a good (but cheapish) bluetooth headset for a Sony Ericsson K750i?

I'm sure this is a very silly question, but can bluetooth headsets also be used to listen to the radio & mp3 player on my phone, or is it just purely phone calls?

    Errm, as for headsets to use/are cheap i wouldnt know

    But i dont think you can use them to listen to radio's or mp3s for a few reasons

    a) the radio function on the K750i uses the wire of the headphones supplied as an arial, so with no wire, no reception, so no radio :-(

    b) Stereo bluetooth headsets are just coming onto the market, (i.e. so you can listen to mp3's properly, from phones), and both the headset and the phone has to be A2DP compatible.

    And alas, the K750i doesnt have that technology :(
    (some places say it does, but i found out the hard way alas, bought an A2DP headset and tried to pair it, and couldnt get anything out of it :-()

    I dont know if you could listen to music through a single ear bluetooth headphone, but i can imagine the quality being awful if you could.

    So if you did get a bluetooth headset, it would be for phone calls only.
    (again, sorry, dont have any recommendations)

    Oh well it looks like I won't be secretly listening to some music while I'm at work. Thanks for responding.

    It takes headphones according to their site

    Click on entertainment on the left and a picture appears with the phone using headphones I would contact or have a look a what type of earphones they are.
